After landing at the Grants airport Saturday morning, we rented a car (they didn't have any 4wd in our price
range) and headed out to Wild Horse Ranch. We were merrily toodling down the dirt road when we encountered . . .

We could see the deep ruts in the mud where people had tried to go around. We realized that we
shouldn't have been surprised. On the flight in we saw little lakes everywhere dotting the usually dry
countryside.

Quite dissapointed, we headed back. Since we had nothing better to do on the way back to Grants, we stopped at
the lava falls at the El Malpais National Monument. In the past we'd frequently wanted to stop here, but before we'd
always been busy -- on the way to Grants to get something specific, and then wanting to get back.

We made it to the falls, but our only evidence is this single, blurry picture. There was actually a 5-ft cave
that went back under the overhang. The "falls" are the two columns of rock in front of the cave.
